People at CUSP
Faculty, Researchers, Staff, and Administration at the Center for Urban Science + Progress
The faculty at CUSP comprises professors from nearly every Tandon department. Thanks to our interdisciplinary nature, we are able to combine a range of disparate technologies which would be difficult to accomplish in a typical university department. We find synergies between research capabilities and provide students a world-class experience that shows the full breadth of skills needed to create change in cities.
